CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE
Just 8 weeks until Christmas. Here is our latest progress towards the weight loss we are gifting ourselves for Christmas day!
Please note, someone got their gift very early ... @nachdeezy already hit his target!! Amazing, well done, if you'd like another target just let me know!
Any of our new members who would like to join, just send me your xmas target weight.
As usual any mistakes/ changes let me know.

Oct 30: 🏃♂️👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 18K Steps (yesterday's accomplishments). Our morning walk yesterday got finished early - started to rain about 2.5 miles in - had to finish it on the treadmill (not as fun). Today will be the same - raining all day. Something about being in the fresh air that makes the walk so much more enjoyable. On Monday nights I accompany my 81-year-old mom to bingo at the knights of columbus hall. Tonight is a special bingo night - Halloween bingo. Most will dress up, and they give candy as well as money to the winners (and to us losers as well). I will be a doctor, mom will wrap her head up in gauze and be my patient.
Congratulations Downsizers for being on top of the leaderboard!

I am going into my second month here really (i joined the month before I think but I wasn't quite ready so it doesn't count)
Last month I started a medical bariatric program which is a specific food plan with weekly group therapy sessions. Just before starting the program, I hit my highest weight ever, at nearly 400lb. My physical health was a mess- barely could walk, can't bend, painful to get in and out of bed, personal hygiene being an impossible task at times.
I am down nearly 25lb already and feeling some benefits. I can't wait to see what happens in the coming weeks and months!
I have an important event in February where I have to fly to Utah. I have to buy certain clothes at that time and I would love to be a couple of dress sizes down.
Goals for November:
* Be in the 350's (about a 13lb loss, so a big task)
* Average 7,000 steps a day
* Swim/Youtube workout 3x a week
Non weight loss related goals
* finish current school course
* read scriptures daily, at least 1 chapter.
* daily gratitude
I like seeing both fitness and non fitness goals.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »My Goals for November are:
^use my home gym 5 days a week for 45 minutes (sitting down of course)
^Stay with Keto
^Meal Prep on Sunday's with my daughter's help
^Get at least 6 hours of sleep
^drink 140 ounces of water daily
Good for you using your gym. I think sleep is an important one. I know when I don’t get enough sleep it affects my eating and desire to exercise.Oct 30: 🏃♂️👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 18K Steps (yesterday's accomplishments).

I used to enjoy all the things I would see in an outdoor walk along with the fresh air. That would be a fun bingo. I hope you guys win.0 -

@Megan_smartiepants1970 That is one I am working on, too! When I don't sleep enough, I reach for everything munchie to help me feel better. Not good! Way to keep up with the home gym thing!Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »My Goals for November are: ...Get at least 6 hours of sleep
Hey, @Stacimfit! Congratulations on your great month!! Did you get to that Orchard Run event you had mentioned?
And speaking of accountability...My day today involves a trip to the grocery store, where I will pick up Halloween treats for tomorrow. As I mentioned, this has been a nemesis in the past!!! Goal is still to eat none! (Thanks - it just helps me to say it again...and again... and again...)3 -

@robinb
Yes I did do the 5k at the Orchard! Thank you for asking. I LOVED it. I look forward to doing more. So everyone was really nice and all there obviously for the same reasons, to run/walk. I was with my pace group and they were really nice. Didn't MAKE any new friends but I did feel included and had a good time. I may have been running alone but everyone else went with a group didn't mean they stayed with them during the run so I didn't feel left out at all. I look forward to going to more and being around similar people

Thanks Roblin... I am struggling with sleep with this darn foot/ankle/leg of mine and with the weather turning cooler I am really struggling ...it is 45 degrees right now here in Cali and the hardware in my ankle and leg it hurts like hell but that will not stop me from using my home gym in a few minutes 2 -

Hi Team
Would it be possible to reactivate my profile for the November 2023 challenge?
It's been a very lazy year and have not prioritised my health.
I would love to get back running please.🥹0 -
Oct 31: 👣📝🥗🎮 Happy Halloween! 18K . Great time at bingo, didn't win, cute costumes. I had task in another challenge that I am in that you had to pick your favorite candy or treat, figure out how many calories it had and do a workout that burned more calories than the candy. Had to walk an hour for the calories in a Baby Ruth. Will make me think twice before I sneak into the candy bin today!0

@lindamtuck2018, great question! I think the weather change here and some life stuff have me feeling stuck, but this week I scheduled my workouts in my calendar, so they're in there and part of my day. I also have my HelloFresh coming on Tuesday, so I'll have my meals for the week figured out Also looks like you had a great Monday, I hope Halloween treats you well, too!
@NachDeezy, congrats on making it to your goal early! That has to feel amazing!!
@Megan_smartiepants1970, those are great goals for November!!3 -
November Goals
1. Kickboxing or Resistance Training 3x a week
2. Cooking my HelloFresh 3x a week and maintaining leftovers
3. Continuing journaling
4. Stretching on the days I don't do workouts so I can help my soreness
5. Prioritizing my downtime more
6. Getting out of the 270s!1 -
